Entry & Access

Divers might be able to make it here by surface swim from McAbee Beach but a kayak or boat is preferable to an agonizingly long kelp crawl.

Skill Level & Hazards

This site is fairly protected and shallow making it great for beginners but since it is fairly popular among dive tours, a good float to ward off boat traffic is advisable.
